DISCIPLESHIP: INSIDE OUT (part 4)

As Disciples of Christ we must be Accountable to the Word of God and also to One Another!

Accountability- the state of liable, answerable.  To be call to render an account.  The oligation to bear the consequences.

Ephesians 5:21
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

LOVE IS HOW WE SHOW THAT WE ARE HIS DISCIPLES

John 13:34-35
A new command I give you:  Love one another.  As I have loved you, so you must love one another.  All men will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.

WE MUST SUPPORT,  ENCOURAGE, CHALLENGE , & CHARGE EACH OTHER.

2 Timothy 4: 1-4
In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead and in view of his appearing and his kingdom.  I give you this charge:  Preach the Word;  be prepared in season and out of season;  correct, rebuke and encourage-with great patience and careful instruction.

1 Peter 2: 4-5
As you come to him, the living Stone - rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him - you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Living Stones -
Would you prefer to be a stone thrown in a pile? 
Or a stone that is being built into a spiritual house supporting and being supported by other stones?
